These are unit and dollar sales rankings based on sales tracked at point-of-sale by the ComicHub system at stores selling American comics around the world.  During the period for which these reports were generated, there were roughly 85 stores using the ComicHub system, with rapid increases in the number of stores reporting expected as we incorporate future months.  As this is a small, non-random sample of over 3,000 stores selling American comics worldwide, these rankings may not be typical for all stores, but do represent a variety of locations and store emphases.  And for the first time, these sales rankings represent actual sales to consumers during the period, not sales to stores.

We are reporting bestsellers for Q2, as there were only a handful of new titles released in April and May, and many stores were shut down or operating in a limited capacity in those months (and in some cases, in June as well).  We will begin monthly charts with July rankings.

We also did Q2 charts for the top 20 comics (see "Top 20 Comics, Q2 2020").

ICv2 Pro subscribers have access to charts of the Top 100 Comics by Units and Dollars (see "Top 100 Direct Market Graphic Novels – Q2 2020").

We first got a glimpse of the difference between sales rankings of comics based on sell-in and sell-through at the ICv2 Insider Sessions last fall (see "ICv2 Insider Sessions: Comic Hub Opens the Black Box").
